If you have any feedback for me, this is the right place to put it.
When a page like this (a user's "talk" page) is modified, "You have new messages" is automatically displayed on all pages that the user views, until he or she views his/her user page.
RSS Feeds?
I must admit this is an area I'm not highly conversant in yet, but I do know that they are gaining in popularity. We've had a couple of people make requests on the Websters UUA list and so far this is what I've been able to find regarding RSS being incorporated into MediaWiki.
Do you have plans to activate RSS (and possibly other) feeds in the UUWiki? --LASS 09:19, 26 Jul 2004 (CDT)
- Good pointer! As noted at that link, it is working for the Recent changes and New pages pages, and they seem to work fine here. For more info on RSS see [1] --NealMcB 15:10, 26 Jul 2004 (CDT)
Cool! - Thanks Neal. I see that both atom feeds and rss feeds are available in the UUwiki for those two pages from the toolbox in the left nav menu. --LASS 15:25, 26 Jul 2004 (CDT)
Usage of Discussion Pages
Sorry I don't know the protocol for discussion pages. When I go to edit UU Money I only get a blank page and my post goes to the bottom. I don't know how yours went to the top. I don't know how to edit out the list and put it on the article page. If you can do that, that would be appreciated or you could tell me how to do it. JoyceD 13:21, 4 Aug 2004 (CDT)
- Thanks for your contribution Joyce - the text was great. I know this system is very new to most people and I didn't mean to sound critical or authoratative, if I did. Just trying to lend some insight from experience in similar situations. If you click on "edit" you edit the whole page. If you click on "+" your contribution is appended to the end. To move things from one page to another, you can just "cut" it from one (typically with the "edit" menu or control-x) and "paste" it into the other. If you don't want to do it, that's fine (that's one of the beauties of the "wiki way"). I or someone else probably will. I've loved the way others took my contributions and edited/expanded/changed them. Cheers --NealMcB 13:37, 4 Aug 2004 (CDT)
